10. Hot Chocolate Cafe

Our Hot Chocolate Cafe is an especially intimate experience, where you are welcomed as guests and leave as friends. Upon arrival you will be served a tester plate to sample some of our Belgian chocolate creations. We serve a small exclusive chocolate menu Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

While the preparation of your order takes place, guests are transported to our world – where masks are loved for their splendour, enjoyed for their entertaining ambiance and treasured because of their historical significance.

La Carla Venetian Masks are displayed and the mask atelier is open to view. Our masks are based on Italian masks and there is an informative talk given throughout the day explaining why we create these beautiful masks right here in South Africa. "Who buys them?" ending with an entertaining explanation of why Venetian Italian masks were created for the first time.

By now your order will be ready and can be enjoyed overlooking the Outeniqua mountains and experiencing the tranquil forest atmosphere. Group bookings are more than welcome. We courier our chocolates as corporate gifts or wedding or party trinkets, throughout South Africa.

We are situated on Holt Hill, Little Holt, HH32, a farm overlooking the Outeniqua Mountains – on the N2, 6km from Plettenberg Bay on the way to Knysna – next to Blue Hills Bird Farm and across The Heath.
